Have you ever wanted to enroll in my Economics of Market Power course? Now you can get a taste! Long past time we resurrected the economic study of regulated industries, especially now that we know what the empirical effect of deregulation is, instead of in theory (ie making shit up).

"The Eighth Amendment thus gives us a preliminary boundary line, a constitutional floor for provisioning in prisons. Where the government’s direct obligations end, the potential for private companies to profit, from the redistribution of financial pressure onto vulnerable communities, begins."

nope. Corinne and Raul are on the editorial board of the Journal, so there is some overlap, but they are a completely separate entities.
